As you may already know, I also write for Beautystat.com. Recently, I was asked to cover the best sunless tanning products for your skin.

If you haven't already viewed this article,here is the original piece. Read the additional review for Beautystat here: http://www.beautystat.com/site/skincare/review-the-best-self-tanners-for-summer-2011/


Our Beautystat team decided to round up some of the best new ideas for your summer tan this year. It's important to protect your skin. We all know that being out there under the sun is fun, but those rays can be so dangerous. Here, we have gathered up a few of our favorites to help you "fake it" instead of "bake it" baby!

Fake Bake is one of the products that it girls go to. It's one of the leading self-tanning formulas, and is known for pampering all skin tones and types. We want to spotlight a special formula called Fair, Fake Bakes’ build your own tan. Fair is a moisturizing, easy to apply, slow building tanner and moisturizer designed for the woman who wants to control their results a bit more.
Fair is wonderful on even the palest of skin tones and builds gradually so the effect is easy to control. It also has Fake Bakes’ signature guide color so you can see exactly where it’s going as you apply it.
Fair is available at leading salons nation wide and retails for $29.00.
